The Official Win Pot's Old Shoes Thread

[PotVsKtl]

In this thread you will have the opportunity to win the above pair of shoes. These shoes will be shipped at no cost to the victor. There are no rules. There is no time limit. When I have decided that someone has won I will announce that the contest has concluded. I do not know how someone will win. It is possible but unlikely that nobody will win.

These shoes were purchased about 12 years ago at a shop in Austin Texas called Atomic or some shit like that. It was a vintage toy slash fucked up shoes slash punk memorabilia store. They hold a great deal of emotional significance for me. They were also not cheap.

The shoes are custom made John Fluevog silver and gold wingtips with Doc Marten soles. They are an English size 10 although that does not matter because you do not have the balls to wear them. It is extremely likely they are the only surviving pair in the world.

Commence winning.

Whether pot sends them to me or not I am very secure in the knowledge that I will someday soon possess the shoes displayed in that photo.

before I even attempt to compete, what is the conversion from English to US Sizes? I would most definitely wear those, but my feet are irregularily small. I'm like Fred Flinstone.

10 UK = 10.5 US generally.

However, brits tend to be inconsistent small-scale cobblers

[bmack86]

well, i officially withdraw from the competition. Way too big for my feet. That's a damn shame, because those shoes are fucking amazing. They aren't for every day, but would be perfect for special occasions. Beauties, I do declare.

[PineapplePete]

hand me the fuckin shoes or i'll kill you

[fatbastard]

They look like they might have magical powers.

[thelastgreatman]

Pot, I assure you that if you send me those shoes, not only will I dance my way into Dani's heart with them, but I will then wedge one each in Pete's and Passive's asses respectively.

[Hannahrain]

Pineapple Pete, I'm going to slaughter you. Would you folks like rings or wedges?

I say rings.

[thefunkylama]

Rings, please.

[ewiggy]

pot - did you wear those shoes at the same time as your armband?

[bassmintpdx]

Why not just send them on some exploits like your pants? Shoes that good need to be out goin' places and seein' the sites.

Dare I say, less a few extraordinary douchebags, the board is getting good again.

Name names.

Speaking of which--can we start a McCarthy-stylie witchhunt on this board somehow?

I did not. In that spirit, as the winner will be expected to not overly abuse the shoes sense of purpose and place, here are some examples of outfits and activities the shoes might enjoy participating in:


Playing guitar in the backyard.


Posing for your Mom.


Collecting kittens and loveseats with teddy bear heads for your dorm room.


Doing LSD in the bathroom.


Being the singer in a rock and roll band.


Wondering how you got where you are today.

Please keep all this in mind when considering adoption.

John is my boy. I wish him all the best in life and love.

[PotVsKtl]

Collecting kittens and loveseats with teddy bear heads for your dorm room.

Motherfucking snaps I spy Arthur in the background! Only existing picture and I didn't even know all these years. Arthur and his bitch went on to pop out something ridiculous like 23 babies which I eventually had to trade back to the pet store for more rat food. Thanks PotVsKtl, you've done me a great service.

[PineapplePete]

Being the singer in a rock and roll band.

[SojuGorae]

I'd totally wear those shoes if they were size 12 1/2 and if I was white.

Asians, Blacks, and Hispanics couldn't rock those kickz'
